Our 2010 Fern &
Exotic
Plant Show & Sale
was held on
June 5th and 6th
at Fairchild
Tropical Botanic Garden
In 2001, we were
able to put on our first plant show showcasing many tropical plants that
are grown in South Florida. Our show and sale are at Fairchild Tropical
Botanic Garden
(10901 Old Cutler Road, Coral Gables, Florida).
The show and sale
for 2010 featured an exciting display of rare plants that are generally
not
available through commercial venues. We had numerous vendors all
selling from
their booths and a Members' Table that featured some very
unique plants as well.
We had
ferns, aroids, heliconias, crotons, gesneriads, cordylines, orchids, bougainvillea and bromeliads available for purchase.
Many of the
plants that our members grow are collected from around the world and in many
cases, newly introduced species. Our international members will be
bringing plants in from Indonesia, Malaysia, The Philippines and Ecuador.
The display featured many different ferns and tropical plants. Last year's show
incorporated aroids, ferns, orchids, gesneriads, begonias, crotons, coleus and
bromeliads.
If you are
planning to visit the South Florida area, please drop in to see this world
renowned garden. The gates are open from 9:30 a.m. to
4:30 p.m. seven days a week.
The General Admission is
$20.00 for adults. With this admission price, you are also
entitled to visit Fairchild
Tropical Botanic Garden in its entirety.
There is no admissions fee for Fairchild Garden members.
